Hi there, I have a D-Link g650 cardbus atheros wireless device and I have been getting serious problems with it. It attaches fine, then I configure it, it connects to the USR8054 AP, or in fact any AP I have tested it against, then soon after it stops working. Sometimes after transferring data, more often than not before any major traffic. When it fails, the card sits there flashing the Act light. My kernel is mostly modular in nature, and I load if_ath in loader.conf, eg: FreeBSD satan.noc.kewl.org 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #0: Wed Oct 22 17:45:59 BST 2003 root_at_satan.noc.kewl.org:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/MODULAR-DEBUG i386 /boot/loader.conf: wlan_load="YES" if_ath_load="YES" cardbus_load="YES" pccard_load="YES" cbb_load="YES" The cardbus device attaches as follows: cbb0: <ToPIC95B PCI-CardBus Bridge> irq 11 at device 13.0 on pci2 cbb0: PCI Memory allocated: f7d00000 cardbus0: <CardBus bus> on cbb0 pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0 cbb0:

and if so, have you managed to overcome it? Also, if this appears to be a possible bug in the driver, please explain how I could help in discovering the problem and aide in fixing it.
